• This blog was originally published on July 7, 2026. It was updated on July 8 once the World Cup Round of 16 was completed.

Despite all the negativity in the build-up to the tournament, it's safe to say the World Cup has been a resounding success. Stadiums have been full and the players on the pitch have delivered.

Now only the best remain, with Messi, Mbappe, Haaland and Kane hoping to make history for their nations. Despite reaching the business end of the competition, ticket prices are crashing on SeatPick for each of the four quarter-finals.

World Cup 2026 quarter-final ticket prices have fallen by more than 50% between July 4 and July 8. The sharp correction follows a wave of round of 16 results that eliminated co-hosts USA, Mexico and Canada from the tournament, as well as one of the best supported teams in the World Cup, Colombia.

With home crowds gone, demand for several ties has cooled fast, and this looks like one of the better windows to lock in a seat.

World Cup 2026 Quarter-Finals: Dates, Venues and Why Prices Are Falling

The quarter-finals run from Thursday, July 9 to Saturday, July 11, 2026, split across four US cities: Boston, Los Angeles, Miami and Kansas City. Eight teams remain, and the winners advance to the semi-finals in Dallas and Atlanta the following week.

Ticket markets tend to move fast once a bracket is confirmed. Prices often spike the moment a big name qualifies - or drop when a popular team is eliminated.

That's exactly what is showing up in the data this week. All four quarter-finals have seen their cheapest listed price fall by more than 30% since Saturday, and the steepest drop, Spain vs Belgium, is down 63.6% on its cheapest ticket.

SeatPick pulls listings from multiple trusted resale marketplaces into one place, and our live World Cup ticket data hub exactly how far these prices have moved in the last days and weeks.

Norway vs England Tickets: Miami Prices Down Despite Haaland Hype

Norway face England on Saturday, July 11, at Hard Rock Stadium, known as "Miami Stadium" for the tournament. Norway reached their first World Cup quarter-final on the back of Erling Haaland's scoring run, including a statement win over Brazil.

England advanced with a narrow epic win over Mexico at Estadio Azteca and will be desperate to reach their first World Cup final since 1966. It is one of the most anticipated ties of the round, pitting Haaland against Harry Kane, arguably the two best strikers in the world.

Despite the anticipation, prices have eased considerably. The average ticket price has dropped 53.2%, from $6,020 to $2,819, and the cheapest listing is down 55.4%, from $3,055 to $1,362.

Argentina vs Switzerland Tickets: Kansas City Holding Value

The final quarter-final is set for Saturday, July 11, at Arrowhead Stadium, known as "Kansas City Stadium" for the tournament, kicking off at 9pm ET. It follows two different ties to complete the round of 16.

Argentina produced the most incredible comeback against Egypt. Down 2-0 with 11 minutes to go, Leo Messi once again inspired his teammates to victory from a seemingly impossible situation, scoring once with Cristian Romero and Enzo Fernandez also notching. The latter in the 92nd minute.

Switzerland vs Colombia showcased another side of football. A dull goalless draw saw the Swiss reach the quarter-finals with a penalty shoot-out win over Colombia.

At the match in Vancouver, yellow Colombia shirts dominated the stands and the departure of the south American side has opened up plenty more tickets for those keen to watch Leo Messi.

Messi's bid for a farewell World Cup triumph is being watched closely by fans all around the world, but the lack of Colombia in this tie has continued the trend of World Cup quarter-final prices dropping.

Average ticket prices are down 39.4%, from $4,415 on July 4, to $2,674, for Argentina vs Switzerland, while the cheapest listing on SeatPick has dropped 41.8%, from $2,046 to $1,190.
